Description
iSpy Phonics helps children learn the first building blocks of reading – fast.
This app enables children to match phonic sounds with letters, through colorful illustrations, pictures and accurate pronunciation, all whilst playing the age old game of I Spy. It provides a fun and highly interactive way to help children learn to recognize letters and their phonic sound – the first stage in reading.
Kids love adding their own pictures and voice to the app, making it a fun game you can play with them and enabling them to change the content as they progress. Ask your child what else they “Spy” that starts with a sound and reward them by helping them to take a photo and record their own voice saying it. Kids have never had so much fun whilst learning. You can relax as the app is childproofed, so you can restore all the original images and sound files at the touch of a button.
iSpy Phonics has been developed in conjunction with a British speech and language therapist to ensure educational accuracy. It covers each letter in the alphabet and four additional common consonant sounds. Each sound is illustrated individually and has a clear photograph of an everyday object accompanying it. The app contains a phonic sound recording for each letter that can be repeated as often as a child needs to help them remember it. This ability to repeat sounds, words and see familiar objects helps children to learn phonic sounds easily and speeds up their reading.

Aid reading development through multi-sensory learning
Engage your child by adding their voice and pictures to personalize their learning experience.

iSpy Phonics
This is a very good app for a beginning reader. One caveat for American English speakers; the vowel sounds are clearly British and an American speaker will need to monitor the child's pronunciation of vowel sounds and make corrections as the child learns the sounds. Otherwise, it is an app that we have been looking for for our 4 year old.
A customized tool to make learning interesting
I appreciate the potential in this app to transform any photo that is meaningful into a customized phonics learning experience. For example, we had a photo of a boogie board, and put this in the "B" space. If you take the time to set it up, the children can get very engaged because they will relate to the cues you have chosen. Nice work!
Great for young readers
This is a great interactive app which will allow your kids to go running through the house looking for objects, taking pictures, and having fun learning how to read. Makes learning into a treasure hunt... We like the narrator's British accent and the ability to record our own words.
